In what has inadvertently become an annual tradition, we once again attended the Bern/Lugano hockey match on Friday. Lugano, no doubt still smarting from last year's bitter defeat, was able to avenge the loss quite tidily, in spite of a rough and somewhat dull first period during which we were all thinking Lugano probably deserved to lose.

Despite the very thorough pat-down we all received upon entry, some Bern fan managed to sneak in a stinky though beautiful smoke bomb into the stadium and release it upon conclusion of Bern's shameful defeat. It eventually enveloped the whole stadium and obscured our view of the MVP awards following the game. But I had to admire their aesthetically pleasant expression of anger.
